Finally pregnant! Yay! We’ve been trying for a baby for a while and found out last month! Just found out my sister in law and brother are expecting too so we’re psyched! We want similar names though for boys, neither of us know the gender yet but don’t want to get attached to the same name so please help. I like Ariel, nn Ari, means lion of God. My husband thinks it’s a girl name, wdyt? He likes Yuriel, nn Yuri. My brother likes Gavin but his wife wants to name the baby after her father, Robert, and may not use Gavin. Should we choose Gawain to avoid the issue or choose Gavin anyway?

We have three kids; Nova, Maximus, and Juniper. We are expecting a new baby. We’d like to get boy and girl name suggestions that go with our older children’s names. We do not want traditional or simple or popular. So for we like Athena and Isadora for a girl and Titus for a boy but are not sure. Thank you for your help! -Betsy and Arthur Smith

I am due mid- September with our very first child. Derek (husband) and I have picked out Vincent Levi for our son and would now like some outside opinions. We won’t reveal his name to friends and family until he is born. Thanks!

I posted this morning about if it would be weird for mine and my husbands son have 2 middle names while his sisters’ didn’t and it was a unanimous no, it wouldn’t be weird so our sons name will be Oliver James William, he will be joining big sisters Amelia Katherine(5) and Charlotte Elizabeth(3) next month, thanks to those who helped.

I am in love with the name Madeline/Madelyn/Madeleine! I think the mad-a-lynn pronunciation is nicer than mad-a-line, but I like that one too. Her middle name will be Sophie. Her big sister is Emily Lillian (5). I also like the nn Maddy/Maddie. What is your fav. Spelling of the name?

I posted earlier about our quads and needed help finding "baby d’s" name, well we have it. Her name will be Juniper Hope! Willow Grace, Elowen Faith, Phoenix Valor and Juniper Hope could be making their arrival in as little as 5 weeks(😬) although we want to keep them cooking as long as possible. Thank you for your help, we really appreciate it!

Did this a little earlier but didn’t get much response.
Could I have some opinions on the name Sophie? Yes, I know it’s very popular, but I don’t care, and would rather if people commented on other things. I just want to know what everyone thinks about Sophie. Like wdyt about how it sounds, looks, feels, and the meaning, or what kind of girl you picture. Thanks so much! :)

After much debate, my husband and I have settled on Amelia for our baby girl due in late August. But we are really stuck for the middle name - I loved Amelia Charlotte, but we have good friends with an Amelia Charlotte and I felt we were already being cheeky enough taking her first name! Please. Please. Please. Comment some suggestions! We’re really stuck! Also, if you have the time, what are your thoughts on Amelia? I know it’s common but that doesn’t bother us. MIDDLE NAMES PLEASE! Thanks, Sophia x

It's our first child, and she's a girl. Our last name is Watson. I was going for Suzanna Adelle for a while, but grew not to like it. I've also liked the names Skyler Dean and Stormy Kay in the past, but decided against them. Is there any way you can help?

Baby Name Genie:

With names like Skyler and Stormy, I’m seeing a definite meteorological theme here. Not to rain on your parade, but the forecast shows a different name for your daughter. Name her Sadie Joy for a baby girl with a sunny disposition.
